Her brother, John "Pete" Lappan, and five sisters, Ginger Stallone, Judith McMillin, Anita Carlsen, Norma Schock and Marguerite Parmer, also precede her in death.

Loved by her family and respected by those who knew here, she was employed by the Bensalem School District for over 35 years where she worked as a dedicated bus-aide.

Dorothy will be greatly missed by her sons, Richard J Schmidt and his former wife Linda, and Christopher J. Schmidt; her daughters, Linda L. Scheurer and Theresa J. and Ralph Heil.

She is also survived by two sisters, Linda Walker and Patricia Liberty; and many loving nieces and nephews.

Dorothy was known for her generous heart and spirit of kindness. In lieu of funeral services, her family asks that you perform an act of kindness for someone in need in Dorothy's memory.

Thank you to the staff at the Memory Care Unit of Brookdale-Northampton and Angelic Health and Hospice Care for making Dorothy's end of life a peaceful experience.
